[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 5625076, member: 92305"] Are you serious? The "asses" are donkeys. Cart pulled by two asses. Used to pull the cart up the treacherous mountain terrain. And just to be clear, the cart isn't being used by monks. It's being used by an old lady (Commoner Trapper) and four kids, from age 4-12. Oh, and I didn't mention this, either, but there is a second Grath warrior hiding behind the cart that is on its side. He just beheaded one of the kids and tied the head by its hair to the wagon wheel. These Grath are savage sonofabitches. As the PCs come running up the trail, he ducks behind the wagon. At least, that's the plan. When it played out...who knows? I've had more than one "plan" go haywire due to the PC actions. I don't try to railroad or pin them into a certain line of action. I just set up events, try to predict what they'll do. Set up contingency plans, and then stay versatile and willing to ad-lib when the actual game session occurs. I didn't mention it above, because it wasn't material to the thread, but I'm running a Conan RPG game. There are no casters in the PC group. [/QUOTE]
